There
are two ways to provide the mailing list you want
us to print. You can use either the Preferred Method
(Bachcroft's online Mailing List Printing Center) or
the Alternate Method (emailing your Excel file).
Step
2. Once you are at the center,
you will need to set up an account.
Note:
Your account and all of Bachcroft's printing
services are available free of charge. Always fill in
all of the information, even if you are not
having return address labels printed.
If you ever forget your username or password,
simply contact us and tell us the name and address
you entered in your return address section. We'll be
able to quickly search for your account and send
your login information to the email address listed.
Step
3. Type or paste in your mailing list.
Since
this is your personal, password protected
mailing list account at Bachcroft, you can enter
you list during one session or a little at a time.
The Mailing List Printing Center offers you complete
control over how your mailing list is managed, year
after year. Use it as often or as little as you
would like. (Keep in mind that our printing
staff does not edit customers' mailing lists,
so be sure to check your mailing list for errors.)
Note:
Bachcroft respects and honors your privacy. Your
mailing list is used for the sole purpose of printing an
order you have placed with Bachcroft. Any other use
of a customer's mailing list is strictly prohibited.
Step
4. Choose a type style.
Bachcroft
offers you over 70 standard type styles to
choose from. When you are placing your order, we
will ask you to select the type style you'd like us to use.
Click type
styles
here or on any page to see our standard
type styles. To see Bachcroft's complete line of over 150
type styles, click on Type
Styles and Color Gallery.
Step
5. Tell us your username and password.
When
you are placing an order and want Bachcroft
to print your mailing list onto the address labels, simply
tell us your username and password while you are
ordering. That's it! We'll look up your account and
print your current mailing list onto your address labels.
If
your mailing list is already in a database
(such as Excel or FileMaker), you can email it to mailinglists@bachcroft.com.
IMPORTANT: Bachcroft
does not accept Word (MicroSoft Word) or any other
word processing files. Your mailing list must be in
a database file, such as Excel, to be accepted.
Instructions
for Emailing Your Mailing List
(Excel)
Step
1. Format your spreadsheet.
An
Excel spreadsheet is formatted in columns.
Although it does not matter how the columns are
labeled, you may want to label the five columns
like this: Name; Street Address and Apt; City; State;
Zip Code. If you have any foreign addresses,
you will need a sixth column for the country.
What
is important is that whatever you want to
appear on the first line of your label be put in
column "A." Whatever is to appear on the second
line of your label must be put in column "B."
Column "C" is for city, column "D" is
for state, and
column "E" is for the zip code. If it is going
to a foreign address, use column "F".
NOTE: Never use commas in your Excel File.
(Since Excel is a database file, our programs
read commas as quotation marks.)
If
you would like us to use one of the type styles
shown on our standard type styles page, you
can select it while you are placing your order.
Step
3. Place your order.
When you place your labels order, make sure you
let us know that you are emailing your mailing list to
Bachcroft. In the appropriate space, you can simply
type in "Excel " to let us know that your
mailing list will soon follow.
Note:
If your file will be mailed from a different
email address than the one you have listed
in your order, please tell us that email address.
Step
4. Email your Excel file.
Immediately
after placing your order, email
your mailing list (as an attachment) to mailinglists@bachcroft.com.
If your order includes
return address labels, in you email please be sure
to tell us the return-address information to be
printed on your return address labels. That's it!
Once
your Excel file has been received,
we will notify you via email.
If
your Excel file is not formatted according
to the instructions above, you will be notified
that your file cannot be used for printing
and has not be accepted,
If
you would like Bachcroft to format your Excel file,
you must specifically request that service and you will
receive an email notifying you that your file will
be
formatted by Bachcroft. Bachcroft's Excel file
formatting cost is $ 25 per half hour.
